Awards & Recognition
World’s Most Awarded Home Theater & Media Room Integrator
More CEDIA Awards Than Any Integrator Worldwide
Recognition that reflects a standard.
Audio Images has received more awards from CEDIA, the global association for home technology professionals, than any other custom home technology integrator in the world.
These 30+ recognitions celebrate extraordinary home theaters, media rooms, and fully integrated residences – even lighting design, procurement, and project management. Yet for the Audio Images team, awards are not the destination. They're the result of something deeper: the trust placed in us by homeowners, designers, architects, and builders, and the care we bring to every project together.
Every award points back to the same thing — smart homes where technology serves life, not the other way around.

These honors reflect a philosophy that has guided Audio Images for more than thirty years: technology should elevate a home while remaining beautifully integrated within its architecture and design.
Solutioneers of Sight and Sound®
A shared vision, realized.
Award-winning environments are never the result of technology alone. They are the product of thoughtful collaboration, where homeowners, interior designers, architects, builders, and integrators work toward a shared vision.
At Audio Images, the team approaches each project as Solutioneers of Sight and Sound — blending artistry and engineering to create environments where technology fades into the background and the experiences remain.
From immersive cinemas to whole-home environments where lighting, audio, climate, and control operate in seamless harmony, every system is designed to support how the home is lived in, not distract from it.
Defining Examples of Thoughtful Integration
Featured award-winning projects.
Many of the homes recognized by CEDIA have become defining examples of what thoughtful integration can achieve.
From intimate media rooms to world-class private cinemas, these spaces demonstrate how technology can enhance architecture, design, and everyday living.

Respected by the brands we represent.
Industry awards recognize the homes we create. Partner awards recognize how we create them — the training, the standards, and the relationships we maintain with the manufacturers whose products we install and support.
In 2025, Barco Residential named Audio Images its Integrator of the Year – for the second time. The honor reflects a long partnership built on exceptional cinema installations, technical discipline, and a shared belief that private theaters should be both beautiful and uncompromising.
Crestron, Samsung, Lutron, and Triad have recognized the team as well – elite, platinum, and authorized dealer status earned through certification, volume of flawless installations, and years of dependable service after the work is done.

Effortlessly. Reliably. Beautifully.
Awards reflect the experience we create.
While industry recognition is an honor, the true measure of success is much simpler: a homeowner walking into their home and feeling that everything works exactly as it should.
